Science - Properties of Matter

by Marita Vargas

If a material sticks to a magnet, we say it is magnetic.
Some metals such as IRON, STEEL, COBALT, and NICKEL are magnetic.
NOT all metals are magnetic.
In a magnet same poles repel, different poles attract.
We can determine which magnet is stronger by counting how many clips each one can hold.

Density is the amount of mass an object has in an unit of volume. (how much matter it has in a determined space).

In the picture, we can say that honey is THE MOST DENSE of all the liquids and vegetable oil is THE LEAST DENSE of all the liquids.

Relative Density is the density of an object related with water.

The density of water is 1 g/mm³

It means that if we put water in a cube of 1 mm, its mass is 1 gram.

If an object SINKS in water, we say it is MORE DENSE than water.

If an object FLOATS in water, we say it is LESS DENSE than water.

A mixture is when 2 or more substances are combined and they keep their physical properties and they can be separated by physical methods. Ex: a vegetable salad, a mixture of different beans.

A solution is a mixture that each substance is evenly mixed throughout.
A solution is forming a new component.
We say that a material is soluble if it can be dissolved in a specific liquid. Ex, we say that salt or sugar are soluble in water because they form a solution - Salty water or Sweet water.
We can SEPARATE this solution by evaporation.
